The hangman game backward

Question

So, @JLee has posted a hangman game (Hangman- No misses left) on SE. I would like to create one too, but let's do it backward - guess what was the question, with only 1 letter missing:

fill in an "a" - you wish you have it for your lovely home
fill in an "e" - I will have some water and I am fine
fill in an "i" - It happens only in the future you may say
Now, if you fill in a "w" - now, it's not a word but the world was crazy about it!

Your answer can be in form of:

The question was: _ p p l e

followed by explanation.

The "game" tag says "A puzzle that asks for determining the winner in a multi-player game." I think the tags I've put are better :-) — Rand al'Thor, Mar 30 '15 at 22:06

The question was:

w _ ll

Explanation:

You wish you have it for your lovely home

A home is not a home without walls.

I will have some water and I am fine

Well holds water, well means fine

It happens only in the future you may say

A person writes a will for when they die, not in the present moment.

Now, it's not a word but the world was crazy about it!

wwll, or I suspect supposed to represent World War II (though those are Is, not Ls.)

Nicely done! And yes for last line, those are roman numerals which looks like L's in small letter – Alex Mar 31 '15 at 14:22

It's amusing (to me) how I came up with the answer. I was sitting there thinking about it, looking around my own house for the first part. I was thinking, "Bathtub? Water? Mat? Alarm?", but nothing fit... so I rested my head on the wall, and, well, the rest just came to me. :p – Josh Mar 31 '15 at 19:19

Hah that was great. Next time I will make a harder one so you can't just bump your head into the wall and got the answer =D – Alex Mar 31 '15 at 20:24
